What's wrong?
The half-shafts on a 2024-2026 Lucid Air Pure Rear-Wheel Drive vehicle carry power from the single drive unit to the rear wheels. The half-shaft bolts hold that driveline connection tight. When those bolts stay clamped, the drive unit can send motor power through the shafts and move the vehicle normally.
On affected Air vehicles, the bolts were not secured correctly during manufacturing. Lucid traced the main problem to torque work, meaning bolt tightening, being interrupted while the bolt adhesive was still curing. Damaged adhesive, contamination on the half-shaft, or reused bolts with already cured adhesive also contributed. If the bolts loosen, a half-shaft can disconnect from the drive unit. On a Pure Rear-Wheel Drive Air, that single drive unit then shuts down and the vehicle loses drive power.
There is no warning sign before failure. Lucid identified at-risk vehicles through a lash detection analysis that uses vehicle data, but an owner should not expect a sound, light, or drivability change before the half-shaft disconnects.
